Introducing Heidegger ...

What about Foucault's Pendulum? Also a supermarket crave? Also just read Orson Scott Card, Ender in Exile, wraps up some loose ends of the series.

Originally posted by PalynkaAgreed. Even if The Name of the Rose still sells well in supermarkets, I wouldn't count it as 'supermarket trash' by any means - unless one reads it as a simple whodunnit.

Originally posted by PalynkaYou are correct. Tolkien doesn't do it for me. Not much of a sci fi or fantasy book fan. I've liked some like Leguin and Asimov, but not much.
